Now that most browsers can auto-detect the RSS feed for a website, I thought I would share this very simple tip so that your RSS feed can be auto-detected. I am sure most people probably know this already, but it is something I just recently learns and thought I would share it.

Just add the following line inside the <head> tag.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Name of Your Feed" href="http://your_rss_url" />
